YOUTH JUSTICE ADVOCATES OF NEW ORLEANS

The New Orleans Youth Justice Advocates (YJA) Coalition is a group of organizations and community members who work on behalf of children in New Orleans. Guided by the principles of transformative justice, we challenge systems that harm and instead work to create pathways where every child can thrive.

Our 3 Pillars

  1. Treat Kids Like Kids

  2. End the Criminalization of Black Youth

  3. Prioritize Healing Instead of Punishment
